Our

Services

Our specialty is helping creative business owners, just like you, get out of confused freak out mode and into a sweet groove of money systems. There are many nuances to running a creative business that more traditional accounting firms don't always understand. We're here to guide you through the financial side of running your business, without making you feel like an idiot in the process. Our years of experience working with online and creative business owners gives us a deeper understanding of how to make your business financials clean and empowering.

Tax Preparation and Planning

If you live online as much as I do, you’ll be happy to know that location is no longer a requirement for tax preparation. We work 100% online with our clients so you can stay in your pajamas and have a trusted advisor in your midst to slay your tax giants. Self-service tax products are popular, but the moment you get stuck and a wave of panic and frustration washes over you, you’ll want someone in your corner who knows your situation and can advise you personally. Accounting and Taxes are a deeply personal experience and you deserve personalized treatment – not a cookie cutter experience.

+ Tax Preparation for Sole Proprietors starts at $300

+ Tax Preparation for Partnerships and S-Corps starts at $500

You don't have to wait until tax time to get tax advice. I offer comprehensive Tax Strategy Sessions to get you on the right path now, rather than waiting until tax time to get things figured out. We will work together to create a plan of action so there are no tears when tax season rolls around. No more wondering, “should I be filing quarterly taxes?”

Accounting Software Consulting

Looking for some guidance with software and how on earth to track things now that you're in business? We will run a full analysis of your current systems, needs, and goals to design your perfect money system. No more questioning how much you've made or where the money is going.

If you already use bookkeeping software but it drives you nuts because you're not Bill Gates and don’t have a background in nerddom, consider me your personal numbers tutor. I’ll teach you how to use your software too. Sometimes all you need is someone to hold your hand, slap your butt, and tell you you’re awesome so you stop running from numbers and start embracing them.

Before working with Melissa. I was pretty clueless about filing my taxes as a new freelancer, so pretty much everything — bookkeeping, taxes, accounting, etc. I feel like I have personally benefited immensely because of the new knowledge I have of taxes and bookkeeping. In turn, my business has definitely benefited. I am making steps towards improving my bookkeeping so that tax season doesn’t feel like the apocalypse. It’s ok if you don’t know what you’re doing! Melissa is definitely great at helping!

Alexa B. Creative & Design

As a freelance designer/artist/photographer, my biggest frustration has always been tax time!!! And pretty much all things accounting/finance related… (besides actually making money, of course)! You make it easy to ask questions, learn, and go at a pace that is digestible. I feel like we’ve been friends for a long time every time we talk and I enjoy every single meeting!
